What is airborne immunotherapy?
Airborn immunotherapy is the treatment and desensitizing to the allergens you show a positive reaction to during the Airborne Sensitivity Test. These allergens are introduced into the system in very small increments. The immune system then creates antibodies against these allergens to produce desensitization.
Being on the airborne immunotherapy program, how long does it take to receive relief from allergies?
The immune response and initial results to the Airborne Immunotherapy varies from patient to patient, but the majority of patients see some relief within the first five months of treatment. Studies have proven Airborne Immunotherapy is a 1 to 5 year desensitizing treatment plan to allergen sensitivities depending on severity and effectiveness of Immuno-response to the antigen regimen created for the patient. The initial Airborne immunotherapy regimen created for a 1 year regimen.

How long does the airborne sensitivity test take?
The testing takes approximately 25-30 minutes from start to finish, including results.
Why Should I Get Allergy Tested and Consider Receiving Immunotherapy Treatment?
